Well i will do it on my device as well, but the test itself wont make the glass crack unless you put it into 0 degrees freezing water while the phone is around 60 degrees(also this is just my theory that it can happen, not 100% sure). But fair enough you don't have to do it. Was just curious if the phone has the same throttle issue as the nexus 4. I just have to wait until my device arrives to test my theory.

Thanks for the reply

EDIT: And for the record i am not trying to make your damage your device or anything if that's what your thinking.

I got something interesting:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:
Update:

Ok Im doing some tests with battery life.

(Battery test is not complete yet., more accurate results will be ready on Monday) And I want to tell you guys for now I can say the battery life with out STAMINA mode is

very

good.

All day from morning until now I'm using my phone every 5 min. Pictures, videos, internet, games, apps....long story short the phone was on very active use.

(I did so many restarts also)

Now guys pay attention to grey UI colors (background)

When you put screen at maximum brightness, it begins to seem that black color looks greyish !

But after looking closely you realize that this is dark grey color . You may have at first look a illusion of bad screen. But again it just grey UI. (why sony did that ?!).

Example:

(PS When the first deodex rom will appear, I will make a nice theme for us, witch is will bring much eye candy UI like this: AOSP Jelly Bean theme)

However I took a picture to show you something.

This is a "black" wallpaper from Cyanogen mod 10.1 bootanimation.zip with full brightness at dark room.

As you see dark is not dark enough ;)

Here is some camera comparison.

Night time in foggy/rainy weather:

Nexus S (CyanogenMod):

Zsex (sorry I slightly smeared the picture) :

Nexus S (CyanogenMod)

Zsex

So if you see guys it's no difference. Same ****.

Camera on Sony Z showing good performance only at night. It's just a beautiful number "13"mp ! Nothing else !

I also did some cool picture of Sony Zsex :)

(Night look)

Did you try to take photo with HDR mode? and iAuto....?

Those pics are not so good :<

Edit: these are some pics

With Auto only

With iAuto or SmartAuto..... :D
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:
oh yes I tried !

And you know "SuperioAuto+" and "Normal" each time(moment) working differently !

So I always taking 1 photo with SuperioAuto and 1 photo with Normal (HDR on/off)

And you know sometimes it's better sometimes it's same****. :)

Trust this camera (SonyZ) got nothing PROGRESSIVE ;)

BTW Panorama mode is	garbage ;)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stedus:
So the camera overall is good ??

How much can you grade it against your Nexus S??

Never use the Panorama, so its ok for me :))
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:
Of cause the camera overall is good !

From 1 to 10.

Nexus S photos -7.

Sony Z photos - 8 (and 10 at night)

Nexus S video recording- 7.

Sony Z video recording -10.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stedus:
Thanks :D thats all i need :))

btw,does the screen has greyish tone and light leakage even at 0~1% brightness

I mean brighter than other devices??

I saw this one on esato
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:
Oh no there is no light bleed !!!

The colors are good. Just no deep black like on Amoled screens ;)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stedus:

Probably because of the defective Unit or Demo one :D

Edit: that pic is from your XZ?? O.o

no no this picture from Nexus 4:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stedus:
Ic .... man, you scared me :D

Any others thing that you dont like about this XZ??

I might get XZ next week so I really need to see all the pros and cons about this devices :D
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:
you know I will made a video.

I don't like a loud speaker. It got a bad quality (I understand why. Because device is water proof. Forgivable.

I don't like Chrome Browser.

All phone have original browser. Samsung got own one, HTC got own one, Sony got aftermarket browser. Which is not perfect and make internet surfing is bad.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stedus:
The Chrome Browser is good enough for me :))

as for the speaker, Did you always dip tour XZ into water?

Check these videos (Speaker comparison between XZ and GS3)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr7q6SbX8Do

The GS3 was louder than XZ in the 1st video......

But he explained that he dipped the XZ in water before he tried the Speaker test...

And then in his updated Videos when the XZ is fully dried

http://www.youtube.com/watch?annota...&feature=iv&src_vid=Fr7q6SbX8Do&v=AGxIlTsiUiM

the Speaker was much better :D

So i think if you dip it in in water. those water molecules will block the sound of your speaker

If the XZ is dry, the speaker is ok :D

I will wait for your video :D
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:

*The new video will show you The Bad Side of the phone.

We have original themes. Around 10 themes.

Witch is stupid.

They changing NOTHING except: "lock screen wallpaper", desktop wallpaper, and 10% of UI.

You will ask me what kind of 10%?

Example:

Sony Xperia Z got noting special (features) like a samsung does.

I can easy say the phone running AOSP base rom. Just with some cosmetic stuff from Sony. (I also can't say STAMINA mode is crazy !!! No man ! Just another energy saver mode)

But Im sure Cyanogen will make this phone "God like".

I can understand your frustration regarding Chrome. Have you tried Opera Mobile on your device yet? That is my personal favourite.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:

How is the ear speaker(talking about the speaker that goes to your ear when your in a call)? Any comments about that, is it also affected thanks to the water proofing?

Not being funny but that scrolling 'problem' Is because that part of the site is being loaded in another frame and you are scrolling in a frame. Thats the reason the left side works!

And I know also that Samsung browser don't have this issues, the same as HTC, iPhone is also perfect......

Why do people expect wonders from 13mp? Sensor and lens is what important for cameras. 13 mp just means higher resolution, not pic quality.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m00moo:
No. It is NOT lag! it is because it is within a seperate frame. You would understand if you knew web design but I guess you don't. The reason Chrome maybe having that issue is because the way it renders a website is different to the rest. It is loading large bits of text within a seperate frame. Therefore you are scrolling within a box on the main website.

Sony declined to give us stock browser witch is don't have this "problems".

Cmon tell it... :eek:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:
Guys I have a bad and good news.

Let's start with the good news.

STAMINA not just a stupid energy mode. It's kind of intelligent scanning program. Witch is tracking all active process.

You will ask me "what do you mean ?"

Example I using BeWeather app. (very nice weather application, very sexy and provides beautiful widgets)

Today I got notification:

Not bad yea :) ?

Now bad news.

The battery life is bad. Yes guys. More bad than Galaxy S III.

My phone was on charge all night (more than 9 hours). When I woke up I activate STAMINA mode.

I always listening music and surfing the internet when I in bus. (from New Jersey to New York)

The way is around 2-3 hours.

(due to my C6603 model witch is not working with Tmobile 4G, Im using tmobile hotspot)

Long story short I arrived to the work. Check my battery status:

With the same active usage:

On galaxy S3 I got at least: 79-83%

On galaxy note 2 I got at least 92%

So if you see I providing only true info. Where is no bulls.h.i.t.

And another good news ;)

I get a lot of compliments because of this phone. The phone is sexy as f*ck

Regards.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unknown13x:
Guys, hold off about at least another 2 weeks to do any justice for the batteries. Most new batteries (especially Sony's) don't hold charge as well in the first few weeks or first month. After that, you should see a good increase in holding in the charge. :o

Ok guys I found something interesting !

We all know about the liquid indicators witch is are generally placed in similar locations (under the battery) These indicators turn red when exposed to water, which can void your warranty.

So Xperia Z also have that "liquid indicators" and its located inside under protective pads.
